Bréton likened the move to "McCarthy's witch hunt" in a post on X.
We are barely one generation away from that exact McCarthyism.
Roy Cohn was Donald Trump’s mentor and “fixer.”
He was also Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel and assisted him in rooting out supposed communists (the “red scare”) and gay people (the “lavender scare”). The latter being especially heinous because he was a closeted, self-hating, practicing homosexual.
Cohn had been assisting McCarthy's investigations of suspected communists. In the 1970s and during the 1980s, he became a prominent legal and political fixer in New York City.
He was a genuine piece of shit. Trump learned a lot from him, Cohn was one of his heroes. You can see more on Roy Cohn the self-hating scumbag’s Wikipedia page.
As a bonus fact, the word “scumbag” initially referred to a used condom. Which is perfectly appropriate for someone like Roy Cohn, who loved being used and thrown away.
Roy was not gay. He was a man who liked having sex with men.
hmmmmmm
He was a genuine piece of shit. Trump learned a lot from him
Was laughing at that point, thanks
The five Europeans named by Rogers are Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate; Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organisation; Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index; and former EU commissioner Thierry Bréton, who was responsible for digital affairs.
So, hate and misinformation are American values. Checks out.

When is the US government going to be added?
If you look at the source page for tge section on US fascism it has a section on the current state of affairs
When someone clicks the "edit" button, I guess.
It is on classical fascists by choice apparently.
